ARE DOGS ALLOWED? |
YES..... SEE NOTE ON DOGS HERE; BUSFEST - DOGS Many of you who come to Busfest bring dogs with you. We generally do not have a problem with that, as most of you are responsible dog owners who control and clear up after your animals.
In particular, within the Trade areas, dogs and their owners are NOT all acting responsibly, and we have had numerous incidents of dogs soiling traders stock and stands and owners not even attempting to control their dogs. Many events at this showground and others do not allow dogs on site anymore. In the past we have come close to banning dogs at the event, but instead have introduced policies that have avoided that. We now have a “Dog Free” Camping area and have an exclusion policy for dogs in the enclosed evening entertainment venues. Every now and again things start to get out of hand, and we must remind you that being able to bring your dogs to Busfest is a privilege not a given. Please Act responsibly with your animals |
